Now that "Prometheus" has hit stores on DVD and Blu-ray, director Ridley Scott has been out promoting the film and answering questions about "Prometheus 2" and the sequel to "Blade Runner," which he will also direct.

SPOILERS AHEAD:

Prometheus 2: "Prometheus" evolved into a whole other universe. You've got [Elizabeth Shaw] with [David's] head in a bag that functions and has an IQ of 350. It can explain to her how to put the head back on the body and she's gonna think about that long and hard because, once the head is back on his body, he's dangerous. They're going off to paradise but it could be the most savage, horrible place. Who are the Engineers?

Blade Runner 2: [The sequel] is happening. With Harrison Ford? I don't know yet. Is he too old? Well, he was a Nexus-6 so we don't know how long he can live.

Yes he is and so are you. Too senile to realise nobody wants his sh*tty sequel. Especially when one of the main characters is a head in a bag. f*ck you Ridley, I hope psuedo-cancer runs in your family.

I hated Prometheus. But if they're going to do a follow-up, ditch Shaw's character and keep David. He'd be the only returning cast member. Have it set several years after the god-awful end of the first film. It would keep it in line with the history of the previous Alien films, as Aliens took place 60 years after Alien. I have ideas. As much as I hated what Prometheus was, I've thought a lot about sequel possibilities. Maybe since Tom Rothman left Fox, the new studio head will be more picky about the final script before greenlighting another polarizing tentpole film. Or maybe it will be years before it's greenlit, and Ridley will be dead. Which is probably what Prometheus 2 needs.

Promtheus was good for a watch but it was a HUUUUUUUGE letdown for me that it wasn't scary or wasn't meant to be scary. I feel like the story would have been a hell of a lot better if they had gone with the story posted about the script was supposed to be used before the LOST guy got involved. Seemed way more brutul. Can't go back now.

There was a time when Scott left it for the audience to decide whether or not Deckard was in fact a Replicant or if he was still a human whose dreams had been tapped by some other means, or any number of other possible scenarios.

Letting the film rest with a certain level of ambiguously is in part what makes it such a classic. It seems heís ditched that idea now and simply expects audiences to accept one version only. Thatís really kind of a bummer.

Prometheus was a technical marvel that suffered from a murky storyline, a haphazard narrative and generic monster movie tropes. Before seeing it I was a bit more open-minded to the possibility of a Blade Runner sequel.

Now, Iíd just assume he leave well enough alone. If he has a genuine idea for a continuing story coupled with a real vision to follow through, and if he can find writer who is actually worth a damn, perhaps all is not lost. But Scott at this point (for years now) seems almost addicted to underwhelming.

Really is there anything more to say about how bad Ridley is f*cking up. I wonder if anyone is confronting him at these promos and asking him why he feel s the need to continue down this dark path of reboot madness. I'm starting to think he's become a little obsessed with this need to complete stories that have already met there worthwhile ends. Next thing you know he'll be bringing Maximus back from the dead or making a prequel to Gladiator.

Prometheus's great disappointment comes with the fact that Ridley Scott had directed seminal sci-fi as Alien and Blade Runner. And knowing that Prometheus precedes the timeline of Alien, audience expectations were very high for this prequel to succeed. Ridley has made some great movies since like Gladiator, Black Hawk Down etc. And everyone was waiting with for Ridley to return to his sci-fi roots and hoping Prometheus delivered the same impact that Alien had in 1979. Prometheus suffered from deliberately not wanting to become another Alien movie and stand on its own two feet as its own unique sci-fi story. That is about humanity's search for the truth about its own creation but rather being shocked at finding humanity was conceived as an engineering experiment from an advanced alien race. And that same race is ready to pull the plug. I can see reasons why Lindelof was brought in to rewrite and steer Prometheus away from alien vibe with the traditional use of facehuggers, chest busters etc. (as intriguing as Spaihts concepts are). For what its worth Prometheus had noble intentions but failed with poor execution eg. the two *sshole scientists Millburn and Fifield childish behavior just begging for death, fake plastic look to the Engineers (wanting too much to emulate Michelangelo's David - my take was WTF - the space jockey was one of the most mysterious sci-fi creatures ever conceived and it was such a huge disappointment to see a humanoid inside and the head was rather just a helmet - agree with @nawtnt here), bad dialogue, poor character development etc. Prometheus almost had the same feel at times as AvP which is not a good thing. Overall I wished I liked Prometheus more but like other who have expressed their sentiments was really hoping for a masterpiece. Perhaps Prometheus 2 can do an Alien 3 and kill Shaw's character before the opening credits finish - then it will just be about David trying to reattach his head on his way to Paradise. Rather I expect they will keep Shaw around and try to milk her as the next Ripley-like character.

@Cannon - Not a great sign that Ridley is out promoting Prometheus DVD and already screwed the pooch telling everyone that Deckard is a Nexus 6. How many years have we lived and accepted the ambiguity of Blade Runner's questions. Ridley is getting senile. As for the next Blade Runner, I would like to see a prequel on the rise of the Nexus 6 models from being invented, manufactured at Tyrell industries, being used in off-world colonies (for menial hazardous labor and even as sex pleasure model slaves), perhaps a battle at Tanhauser Gate, watching attack ships on fire off the Shoulder of Orion, developing awareness and wanting to viciously rebel against their makers. These romantic visions that Roy Batty left us with have floated around in our heads since the conclusion of Blade Runner and worth exploring.

One thing that bothered me was the following plot hole between Alien and Prometheus. In the beginning of Alien, the Space Jockey's body was discovered by Dallas, Kane and Lambert landing party while investigating the derelict spacecraft. The navigation room was found and the body had decayed into the chair canon machine (IMO - one of sci-fi's greatest mysterious images ever). The body also had visible signs of a chest buster that had broken it's rib cage and likely cause of death. In Prometheus the Engineer battled the massive squid face hugger and was impregnated with an alien who chest busted out. This action and the Engineer's death occured in the Prometheus' escape pod vessel. So how the f*ck did the Engineer's dead body get back to the navigation chair to pick up where Alien starts? Why would anyone drag the body back several hundreds of yards and prop it in the seat and place the helmet back on? Am I the only one who thought this didn't make sense?

Mr. Blonde, I think another Enigeer arrives at the planet and finds the Alien creature and is impreganted before the Enigeer kills the Alien creature where the Enigeer tries to start the crashed spacecraft but it's chest bursts and dies in the chair cannon machine.

@nawtnt - IMO there are few great memorable alien designs in the history of sci-fi. And Alien or rather H.R. Giger created two scary creatures with the Xenomorph and the Space Jockey. It was a shame that Prometheus chose to demystified the Space Jockey with a poorly designed Engineer which looked like a pissed off Greco-Roman plaster statue come to life.

@Mink - I think the sequel will likely be called Paradise. And the irony will be the Engineer's homeworld will be savage realm of chaos, blood and death (cue Event Horizon scenes).

@Mr. Blonde, I removed a picture of Giger's alien design from my office on my own initiative because I was shocked at the number of people who had no idea what it was, and it really did look like a black c*ck and balls. Love Giger though, I'm just sayin'

@Stapes - yeah probably a good thing to remove any Giger biomechanical images of aliens having sex with machinery from the office place. Most of Gigerís artwork is very bizarre rife with sadomasochistic themes as the dude definitely had a fetish for surrealism nightmarish sex. Itís rare to find a coworker who actually knows this original source material reference. Even rarer to find a female coworker who knows it Ė she would probably be a wild one that f*cks like a machine. Just saying.

@Frank_Castle - Alien and Blade Runner are perhaps the greatest sci-fi films ever made. You owe it to yourself to sit through them and then contemplate their brilliance long afterwards. The amazing thing is these films were made in 1979 and 1982 respectively and in many ways far superior than films coming out these days. Their themes are often copied but never surpassed. For Alien it was truly the first great gothic horror in space tale where claustrophobia, great character development, suspense, original settings and amazing creature designs all came into play. For Blade Runner it was a bleak vision of the near future where replicants turn on their makers in a desperate attempt to prolong their short programmed lifespans. And in their actions they demonstrate very human traits of strong passion and survival instincts. The music, scenery, character development are simply breathtaking. The fact that both were directed by Ridley is what makes this guy such a living legend amongst fans.

I quite literally just finished watching Prometheus several minutes ago for the first time and can say that the reviews on here are the views of very tasteless. It was far more interesting then any prequel then George Lucas has ever made.

lol, that's the stupid title that guy from ScreenRant gave the sequel, along with Perdition for the third film, even though both titles not only sound like a hundred other films, they suck. Paradise? Not going to happen. Sounds like something Dean Koontz would use.
